    Its just a fairly simple engraving pattern and there's no detail to it really, compare that to Dennis' Vacheron dial and you'll see how world's apart they are.

    That's probably a stamped pattern, not an engine turned engraving.

    It comes from our good friend, 'grand-master' of fakes and frankens.

    Unbelievably, people still do pay for their new 'creations'.

    Thank-you.

    However, on all of the seller'sstock where there is anew dial, that is clearly stated in the description. Here, he says it is the original dial, and I'm inclined to agree.

    Many sellers do say what they sell have original dials. But at least half those listings are actually refinished dials.
